A Message to Our Community & Contributors 

The Poetry Foundation and Poetry magazine stand in solidarity with the Black community, and denounce injustice and systemic racism.

As an organization we recognize that there is much work to be done, and we are committed to engaging in this work to eradicate institutional racism. We acknowledge that real change takes time and dedication, and we are committed to making this a priority. 

We believe in the strength and power of poetry to uplift in times of despair, and to empower and amplify the voices of this time, this moment.
